I admit I have often shied away from attaching yarn hair to my softies despite the fact that I love the look because it all seemed to hard. Where to start??

Thankfully, Creepy Cute has solved the mystery and has generously shared a step-by-step tutorial with lots of pics on how to make and attach yarn hair.
Her example uses an amigurumi toy but it can easily be adapted to attaching yarn hair to softies and dolls.
